It might be able to do this job, but not with the blades that come with the tool. It seems to me that a concrete saw from the rental yard would make cutting the channels pretty easy. On the holes for the plug boxes, I think you could use this tool with a better quality blade (Maybe a diamond one).

I'm sure there will be some dust but I use a vacuum right under the cutting blade and it really cuts down on the amount of dust that gets out into the surrounding area.

I havent used it on plaster. I cut through crown molding in place on the ceiling, and it cut perfectly straight without disturbing surrounding area. Plaster is softer than wood so I think it shoukd work. However with plaster you'll always have dust. I think the dust will fall straight down in a concentrated area.

It's funny that you ask, I just wanted completed a bathroom renovation in my home that was built using said hard plaster. And the answer to your question is no. There will be dust. Your best best it to run it with a shop-vac to such it up before it goes anywhere. But in all honesty regardless of what tool you use there will be some dust. But this tool made quick work of the cutting.

I would suggest a more heavy duty saw. I used this one on some 3/8 oak plywood. Although it punched holes and cut through the material. It took way too long and was not very good at clean straight cuts. I would only use this for light sanding.

Recessed ceiling lights come in multiple sizes, so IF you had a recessed light kit with a 6in diameter housing, then yes this blade would cut the hole. It is designed for use on cornhole boards, and I have used it to cut through a half inch piece of birch with no issues, so I have no doubt it can handle some drywall. However, your local lowes or Home Depot will carry the proper hole cutters for any size of light you need.

It barely cuts round. Doubt it will cut square&#128513; you are better off using wet saw for tile.

It has a cutter but doesn't work good. Use something else to strip your wires.

With a good heavy duty scissors or metal scissor you should be able to cut. The sides are very flexible; only the middle portion that holds the wire in is alittle more rigid -- but is like a semi hard plastic so would easily be cut. If you have any tools in the garage the metal snip shears would cut through it like butter. Hope this helps. Take care.

hello jackson,yes, these are very powerful cutters. you should have no problem cutting thru aluminum soffit.they will even cut thru light gauge steel. bill r.

this would be perfect for that! i would recommend getting a blade with less TPI (teeth per inch(so not a metal blade. like a plastic or wood blade)) so it wont clog up on the plaster :)

i would say yes as long as its secured well. this stuff kinks easily. also i had stated in an earlier post that it was easy it cut. the first time i cut it it went very well. the second time not so well. the tubing cutter i used had a hard time and crushed the pipe when cutting it. if you are going to cut it, insert a wooden dowel or a piece of pipe in the spot you will be cutting

I have cut 3/8 inch plexiglass, and it did just fine. It is not a machine for heavy daily use, but if you need it for home use, it does great.

I'm pretty sure it would; however depending on how much cardboard, it may dull the blade. You might want to get one or two extra blades when you order the cutter. I used it to cut through two layers of polartech fleece and it was great! Hope this helps.

I didn't have to cut mine but by the material that it is made of a simple hacksaw should be able to cut it. It should be simple enough to modify if needed. Hope it does the job for you.

If all you're cutting is corrugated or standing seam roofing the shears will work fine. Nibblers help if you have to cut around round objects where you won't have a piece of flashing to cover up your cut. If you have to make a straight long cut your best option is taking a regular Skil saw and flipping the blade over backwards. this will cut through any metal roofing. If you dont want to chip up a new wood blade you can get a sheet metal blade for a regular skil saw at almost any hardware store. They have tiny little pointed teeth. this will be your best option for cutting the excess lengths off along the eves of the house.

It will, but may not leave the cleanest cut. I would not recommend this saw for 'finish' work like that. I use this for rough edges like installing electrical outlets where the rough edges are covered by a finish plate.

I have only used this saw to cut conventional ceramic tile. It was fine for that..................have you tried score and snap, as you would cut window glass?

Yes, I used it today on Sheetrock and cutting a hole in a Fiberglas shower works great!Nice clean cut. I have also used it to cut slot in 2*4.

We installed 500mm(~19 3/4 inch) tile, and as long as scoring pressure was constant, the cuts were very clean. Diagonal cuts will likely depend on the angle. The only cuts I found troublesome were ones where I was trying to trim less than an inch.

I use it with an Eastwood 40 cutter rated 5-7 CFM at 20-60 PSI and it works fine. I haven't cut for lengthy periods(short cuts only,) the compressor runs a lot but it works. Make sure you get an air drier for your air line. This is a great little compressor, but if you're plasma cutting, you're probably doing other things too so I would put the money to a larger 60-80 gallon 10+ cfm compressor which is much better suited for garage tool use. I use this little compressor for everything though (blowing sprinkler lines, small media blasting cabinet etc.) I'm always amazed at what this little thing can do. But it runs constantly and after I burn it out, I will buy a much larger compressor more suitable for tool use.
